My suggestion, if you are really worried about that, build something nobody wants.

Couple of my projects, a Sean Connery themed lisp interpreter[0] and a file sharing site that doesn't host any files and isn't P2P[1].

That said, I don't think anyone has ever really looked at either of those projects during the job interview process.
